Award-Winning Summer Tutors serving Austin, TX

...college-level science labs as well as freelance tutoring. I began tutoring because I wanted to help students find success and enjoyment in conventionally challenging courses like math, science, and writing.

In my free time, I find myself exploring Austin, swimming at the green belt, learning to play guitar, and hanging...

...them cultivate a interest in and passion for the material itself. Understanding and ability in a subject is great, but a true desire for knowledge outside of the classwork itself creates a student driven by curiosity and interest instead of just wanting to pass the class. In my free time, I work at the Osteological Research and Processing Laboratory at the Forensic Anthropology Center at Texas State University. I also enjoy reading, watching documentaries, and...

...also pursuing pre-medical studies.

I am most passionate about math, but am comfortable working with students of all ages K-12 (and beyond!) in subjects including chemistry, physics, Spanish, writing, and...

...teacher doesn't look for mistakes, because no one needs the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!)...

...in Plan II. While at UT, I did a creative thesis, which ultimately resulted in a cookbook/memoir about American women, (such as my grandmother) in the kitchen. I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently,...

...Psychology (with a minor in Neuroscience) in 2013. During college, I tutored several Psychology and Neuroscience courses.

I don't have a standard way of teaching; I prefer to meet with the student and adapt my manner...

I worked with Crocs Footwear at their global headquarters as an account manager for five years in account management, before relocating to Austin, Texas, in 2011, when I began pursuing a career in education.

...the classroom. Sometimes all that's needed to make the material "click" is seeing how it is relevant to their own lives. My personal interests include theatre (especially Shakespeare), reading and writing, arts and crafts, baking, and outdoor activities with my dog. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, writing, and SAT prep, and my favorite part of being a tutor is seeing the "Aha!" moment when a student finally understands something that didn't make sense...
